The Complete Works of
Shakespeare:Titus Andronicus

WINSPEAR OPERA HOUSE | Shakespeare Dallas and AT&T Performing Arts Center are in the
midst of presenting staged readings of every single one of Williams
Shakespeare's works over five years. The 25th in the series will beTitus
Andronicus. A fan favorite in its time and
possibly Shakespeare’s first tragedy, this account of the fictitious Roman
general,Titus Andronicusincludes 14 killings, six severed
members, one live burial, one case of insanity, one case of cannibalism and 1-3
rapes depending on how you count. It’s a tale of escalating revenge gone
horribly wrong and easily wins the title of Shakespeare’s bloodiest play. Performances will take place
in Hamon Hall.
